hello tanong ko lang, kung ok lang ba tumawag sa CEM and ask about my application status? :-[

..Huwag kang tumawag ..baka at iyan pa ang dahilan lalong madelay u visa....please be patience...matanggap mo rin yon...

Landed na po ako last week, buti naman springtime na dito sa Edmonton, +2 today so pwedeng magjogging konti haha. Nabobore na ko na walang trabaho, medyo mahirap maghanap ng IT job dito pala, karamihan North American experience ang hinahanap, buti may 2 years experience ako sa US. Ayoko kasi muna magtry ng survival job, baka masanay kasi ako at magsettle pag nakakasweldo na eh. Gusto ko pa din sa line ko.

OK na din ang pagbubuntis ni misis, 5 months and going well so far sa mga checkup nya. Kelangan ko na talaga magkawork para masimulan na ang 1-year maternity leave nya.

Sobrang pagpapasalamat ko talaga kay Lord at dinala nya ko ng safe dito at iningatan nya si misis habang parating pa lang ako. God Bless din po sa lahat ng DM and in process pa ang PR, I'm sure on the way na po yan.

Just post your question and we will try to answer them as we can.

 

[gurleegurl]

hehe thanks =)


1. Should the sponsor declare the start of his employment when he first got hired by an agency or should he declare the date when he got hired as a permanent employee

2 Did you put your names and client ids on evidence documents such as plane tickets, wedding details, etc.

3. While being a PR of Canada, he flew back ere in the Phils before. While here, he worked in our agency, so question is, should we declare that he worked while staying in the phils? won`t he get questioned with regards to tax or something?


thanks

ANS: IMO if this is about employment history better to write exactly the employment history for the beginning from his first job up the present. The key here is to be clear and in details without skipping anything.

2 Did you put your names and client ids on evidence documents such as plane tickets, wedding details, etc.

ANS: NO need.. over kill na yun... ;D ;D Only write the name & client ID of the sponsor on the envelope where you're going to put all your documents before submitting to CEM. Once CEM receive your document they can easily see your client ID on the envelope and include your additional document in their filling system.


3. While being a PR of Canada, he flew back ere in the Phils before. While here, he worked in our agency, so question is, should we declare that he worked while staying in the phils? won`t he get questioned with regards to tax or something?

ANS: Im not sure if this will raise a tax concern... I'll let the others answer this for you.... But if you ask me... If the work duration is not that long I will not declare it. To me it is a material information but not relevant to cause error in your PR application. though this somewhat contradict the number# 1 answer. lol ;D ;D

@ balaize - Kayang-kaya mo naman sagutin ito..

Hello, I will try to answer. I hope I understand your situation because I don't really speak tagalog. Canadian marrying a Filipino. I don't think Canadian can get "legal capacity to marry" from Cebu because the Cebu office is not an actual embassy. You can call them to check if possible but I doubt it. Since most international flights go through Manila to get to Cebu, have the Canadian stop in Manila to go embassy. Go first thing in the morning to avoid long line ups. Allow for at least 4 hours to be safe. You receive the "legal capacity to marry" on the same day. I did this, arrived in Manila early in the morning, went to embassy for 8 AM opening, got back to the airport before noon same day for my flight to Davao. Filipino partner needs to get "CENOMAR" from NSO. If Filipino is female under 25 I think you may need to attend a seminar which is usually at city hall. Good luck and congratulations on engagement.

Hi I am wondering about obtaining the GCC from CFO in Manila. I checked on 2 websites. One site says the seminar is available everyday monday to friday 3 times each day for Canada spousal seminar. Other website says it is only Tuesdays and Fridays for Canadian spousal seminar. Does anyone know what is correct? Also, is it easy to get in this seminar or is it too busy and some are turned away? My wife is in Davao so she will have to fly in. I am hoping we can just do this on our way to Canada by staying one day in Manila. But I don't want to show up on the wrong day or on a day that we are refused because too many people. Does anyone have a comment?

salamat

Hi everyone!

In our case we recieved our file no. last Sept. 2011 and until now we are still waiting for the prov. nomination cert. GOD willing everything will be successful. We applied SINP under family category. Is there anybody who has the same time line with our application? can you also share your timeline?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for sharing your experience and the well wishes. It has been a difficult two years of separation and i`m glad that we will be reunited very soon.
I think it will be best for us to get the Legal Capacity to Marry at the Canadian Embassy, Manila because in Cebu you have to make an appointment (i read that from CIC website). And we want to apply for a marriage licence right away because his vacation is only 18 days. I`ll tell my husband to be to get a flight from Vancouver to Manila with an early morning arrival. In the next few months it will be my turn to ask a lot of questions as i prepare our Spousal Application. I thank all the people in this forum for their unselfishness in sharing their knowledge, experiences and support.
